Another Brick in the Wall

"If you don't stop [Medicare] and I don't do it, one of these days you and I are going to spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like to live in America when men were free."
--Ronald Reagan, 1961

Many conservative-leaning media outlets are claiming that the health care bill's passage marks the beginning of a big government takeover of the country. While the size of this particular intervention is large and the process used to achieve it extreme, the health care legislation is merely another step away from liberty and toward State despotism that has been in motion for 100 years.

People complain about President Obama's strong arm tactics but we've seen this before. In fact, many of this president's tendencies mirror the actions of FDR during the 1930s.

Progression to this point was quite predictable and was indeed forecast by many.

Absent a reversal of inteventionary policy, future escalation of the situation to the point of meltdown also appears equally clear.

All in all its just another brick in the wall. Until the wall collapses.
